Re: Trip Report: Getting Robbed at Knifepoint.

That sucks but at least you didn't get killed or hurt. Do you still feel safe there, or have you just learned a lesson not to hitch a ride with complete strangers after midnight?

Thailand and Laos are both very safe provided you use common sense. Walking through an unfamiliar part of the city at like 3:30 am is obviously counter to common sense, but the surrounding circumstances were, um, nontypical.
I'm more concerned about the gay Lao dude. I've since found out that he has reputation for getting in to fights and since he works for the Ministry of Justice, it's always going to be ruled the other guy's fault. There are also any number of other ways I could get [censored] over. I think the best thing to do right now is to get out of town for a few days Michael Corleone style.
